Actor-comedian Jim Carrey has been cleared over involvement in the death of his ex-girlfriend Cathriona White. Both White's husband, Mark Burton, and her mother, Brigid Sweetman had sued Carrey, claiming he gave her sexually-transmitted diseases and provided the drugs she used when she took her own life in September 2015.

A representative for the Oscar nominee confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the matters were dismissed on January 25, but wouldn't comment beyond saying the actor is looking forward to moving on with his life.
